About the Tagbilaran – Siquijor crossing
Two sailings a day from Tagbilaran on Bohol to Siquijor, at 07.30 and 15.20 — both timed to receive passengers off the Cebu boats rather than to stand alone.
Bohol's link to the smaller island
These departures are printed in the timetable as the second half of a connecting trip: the 05.10 and 13.00 from Cebu feed them. That is why there are only two, and why they sit at those particular hours.
The price of the short crossing
PHP 800 in tourist or open-air class, PHP 1,200 in business. For comparison, Siquijor's other link — to Dumaguete on Negros — costs 350 and runs six times a day. Bohol is the convenient connection, not the cheap one.
Practical
Hand baggage on OceanJet is capped at 10 kg and 25 × 35 × 40 cm, with the carrier's liability limited to PHP 100 unless a higher value is declared.
Your destination
About Siquijor
There is no bridge and no jet airport on Siquijor, so every visitor arrives by sea. The overwhelming majority route through Dumaguete on Negros, a short fast-ferry hop of roughly 40 to 60 minutes with several daily sailings from operators like OceanJet, Aleson Shipping and Montenegro Lines. Longer fastcraft runs also connect from Cebu (about 4+ hours) and Tagbilaran on Bohol. The reward is the Philippines' mystic island: turquoise waterfalls, cliff-jump beaches, folk-healing lore and a stillness the busier islands lost long ago.
